Event description

Description

This workshop is a 6 hour exploration of the dynamics of trauma and resilience; their expression in our bodies, their active presence in our communities and their relationship to organizing, alliance building and change. We will share tools for expanding our resilience and clarity in the face of oppressive patterns, systems, and organizing challenges.

The presenters:

Ricardo Levins Morales Ricardo has been active in grassroots social and labor struggles from an early age. As a movement artist he creates images to counter the paralysis that the trauma of oppression impose. He provides support to organizations, activists and leaders to help them seek greater effectiveness.

Molly GlasgowMolly combines her experience as an acupressurist and community organizer to draw connections between the impacts of trauma and our work. She focuses on sharing tools to address the effects of trauma on our bodies and communities with an emphasis on the mind-body connection. Molly approaches this work through the lens of transformative and healing justice.

Who is an organizer? We do not have a strict definition of "organizer." We generally consider it to be someone who brings people together to affect change through collective action.
